Product Description
Graham Annable's follow up to his Harvey-nominated Grickle, further Grickle collects beautiful stories in which devilish comedy and eye-watering art enclose a rich, chocolaty center of sad poetry and bruised but intact innocence. Annable has been creating these stories for his own satisfaction concurrent with his commercial animation work, and it shows in their intimate, conversational tone and wholly personal outlook. The skills honed at his day job are just as evident in the deft, fluid way he puts his stylish figures through their paces - it's like listening to the eloquent solo improvisations of a jazz musician who has sharpened his chops playing every night in the band. Even several panels of an Annable character just sitting still at a table practically glitter with life and cartoon joy.

I am a big fan of Graham Annable and this book is really fun. I only wish it was a bit longer. Very funny stuff and Mr. Annable has a great simple style that is perfect for story telling.

I know I'm not insane because I can still laugh at myself when I read further Grickle. Funny and insightful, it makes me realize the utter futility of my life and yet still find the humor in it. Thank you Graham for making me realize that my life is meaningless and yet still give me hope.

Reading this book is very much like making love to a beautiful woman. Finger the pages gingerly. Giggle innocently at the whimsy of the moment. Clutch it tightly to your chest as you reach the climax. Then turn over and fall soundly into a deep satisfying sleep. Also it has some hilarious fart jokes in it!
This comic is a must have for anyone who enjoys joy. It's filled with poignant stories designed to titilate the spirit and embiggen the soul. Masterfully crafted using ancient 'drawing' techniques first perfected by the mayans in 600 BC, this collection of stories and strips delightfully touches upon those enchanting foibles of life that both warm and wrench the heart....like some sort of spicey stew. Mmmmm spicey stew.
Well, looks like I've got spicey stew on the mind so before I go to satisfy my craving I'll just leave you with this. Grickle is a delectable slice of savoury goodness smothered in the rich and creamy sauce of life......damn, I'm really hungry.
